Invincible Soul Emperor

Sure, here is the translation:

Night falls.

After Xiao Xiao returned to her room, she immediately set up a barrier around that couldn’t be detected from the outside.

The Demonic Qi within her body suddenly became strange for some unknown reason.

But she suspected it had something to do with the previous Illusory Realm. Nevertheless, the Demonic Qi in her body could still be suppressed, causing her no harm.

Xiao Xiao just didn’t want Ye Qingchen to see it.

On the other side, Ye Qingchen lay on his bed, his mind constantly thinking about the Secret Realm, and didn’t notice the sudden barrier set up by Xiao Xiao in the adjacent courtyard.

However, as he lay tossing and turning, he suddenly sensed strands of Demonic Qi appearing in his room.

"Demonic Qi! Who!"

Ye Qingchen hurriedly sat up and looked around.

Outside the door, Zheng Xiao stared sinisterly at Ye Qingchen.

"Hahaha, Ye Qingchen, we meet again." Zheng Xiao’s cold voice appeared at the door.

The look appeared more terrifying than the previous encounters.

"I didn’t expect you’d dare to come!" Ye Qingchen cautiously walked out.

"Is there anything I wouldn’t dare? After the lessons from the last times, I can certainly step on you this time!" Zheng Xiao’s eyes flashed red.

Ye Qingchen sneered: "Then go ahead and try!"

Ye Qingchen stood in the courtyard, the Wooden Sword in his hand stood tall like a pine.

His gaze was resolute, the wood element Spiritual Energy surged around him, seeming to merge with nature itself. As the mountain wind blew, his Long Robe fluttered like clouds, akin to an immortal.

Across from him, Zheng Xiao was completely different. Her black robe swirled, with eyes deep as endless abysses, surrounded by Demonic Qi like a fiend from Nine Nether Hell.

Demonic Qi formed a dark fog around her, devouring the surrounding light, causing even nature to tremble because of her.

After a moment’s standoff, Zheng Xiao coldly smirked and was the first to attack. He raised his hand, the Demonic Qi like a long snake emerged fiercely toward Ye Qingchen. In the air, the Demonic Qi was unpredictable, sometimes transforming into a black dragon, sometimes becoming ghost-like, carrying boundless malice and destructive power.

Ye Qingchen remained fearless, smiling slightly, and gently waved the Wooden Sword in his hand.

Instantly, the surrounding trees seemed to hear the call, with branches growing wildly and leaves transforming into countless flying knives, meeting Zheng Xiao’s Demonic Qi.

The wood element and Demonic Qi fiercely collided in the air, producing thunderous sounds, shaking mountain rocks to crumble and vegetation to become ashes.

Zheng Xiao’s gaze narrowed, hands waved fiercely, condensing Demonic Qi into a massive black scythe, striking heavily at Ye Qingchen.

The scythe tore through the air with earth-shattering force.

Ye Qingchen’s gaze focused, with a light step, his figure like a swallow, instantly avoiding the attack.

Simultaneously, his left hand formed hand seals, softly chanting a spell.

Immediately, a phantom of towering ancient trees appeared behind him, its canopy like an umbrella, with branches and leaves like clouds.

The ancient tree seemed to come to life, its branches extended fiercely, entwining Zheng Xiao’s scythe.

Zheng Xiao snorted coldly, Demonic Qi surged, attempting to break free.

Yet Ye Qingchen would not let him have his way.

His right hand swung the Wooden Sword in an arc, its sword light like a rainbow pointing directly at Zheng Xiao’s heart.

Zheng Xiao was forced to retreat repeatedly, his Demonic Qi constantly transforming, attempting to fend off the sharpness of the sword light.

For a moment, the wood element and Demonic Qi interwove, as if only their images remained between heaven and earth.

The surrounding mountains and vegetation were turned to dust by their battle, nature’s spiritual energy was thrown into chaos by this earth-shaking confrontation.

Ye Qingchen’s expression remained unchanged, the power of the wood element continually pushed to the extreme in his hands.

He knew that Zheng Xiao’s Demonic Qi was growing stronger, if not settled this time, it would become a major issue later.

Zheng Xiao’s face was grim, never expecting Ye Qingchen’s wood element could still resist her increasingly strong Demonic Qi.

Both felt a soaring battle spirit, every move was deadly with no mercy. The outcome was undecided, but the skies had already shifted.

In the adjacent courtyard, Xiao Xiao was desperately suppressing the Demonic Qi, not noticing the commotion outside.

This place was also a secluded area of the Xue Family, nobody would notice their fight here.

Zheng Xiao saw Ye Qingchen handle it easily, feeling utterly unwilling.

She shouted loudly, "Ye Qingchen! Today it’s either you die or I live!"

Ye Qingchen’s heart trembled, sensing the mutation of Demonic Qi on Zheng Xiao.

In that instant, Zheng Xiao’s Demonic Qi grew stronger, as if an endless dark force awoke inside her.

Ye Qingchen’s brows furrowed, realizing Zheng Xiao’s power had exceeded his previous expectations.

"Ye Qingchen, today is the day of your death!" Zheng Xiao’s voice echoed like a reverberation from Hell.

Her scarlet eyes, Demonic Qi like a storm swept toward Ye Qingchen.

The immense pressure made Ye Qingchen’s breath nearly cease, even the spiritual light on his Wooden Sword seemed powerless before this Demonic Qi.

Ye Qingchen took a deep breath, wiping away the sweat from his forehead.

He wondered who was behind Zheng Xiao’s accelerated advancement during this time?

If he found that person, Ye Qingchen certainly wouldn’t let them go easily!

Ye Qingchen gripped the Wooden Sword tightly, pushing the wood element Spiritual Energy within him to the utmost. The surrounding trees responded once more, with branches dancing like a frenzied dragon, leaves flying like arrows, attacking Zheng Xiao fiercely.

Yet, Zheng Xiao merely sneered, the Demonic Qi around her condensed into a black barrier, blocking all of Ye Qingchen’s attacks.

Demonic Qi and wood element continually collided, producing deafening thunderous sounds, yet Ye Qingchen’s offensive gradually appeared somewhat powerless.

"So strong!" Ye Qingchen was slightly shocked, never encountering such formidable Demonic Qi.

The Demonic Qi seemed endless, swallowing all his attacks, even starting to counter. He felt the Spiritual Energy within him rapidly depleting, while the opponent’s Demonic Qi grew denser.

Zheng Xiao chuckled smugly, and with a wave of her hand, a massive black Demonic Dragon soared forth, rushing directly at Ye Qingchen.

The Demonic Dragon with claws and teeth, carrying an earth-shattering force.

Ye Qingchen gritted his teeth, the spiritual light on his Wooden Sword burst out, its light like a silk thread aimed at the Demonic Dragon. However, the Demonic Dragon’s power far exceeded his expectation, and the sword light was completely shattered upon contact.

Ye Qingchen was pushed back several steps by the residual force of the Demonic Dragon, a trace of blood spilled from his mouth.

He locked eyes with Zheng Xiao, filled with resoluteness.

Zheng Xiao looked at Ye Qingchen’s battered state, laughing maniacally. "Ye Qingchen, just accept your fate! Before the absolute Demonic Qi, your wood element is nothing but a paper-thin defense!"

Ye Qingchen wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, clenching the Wooden Sword tightly, a fleeting smile passing through his eyes. "Zheng Xiao, don’t celebrate too soon! Until it’s all over, who will win is still uncertain."

Just as the words fell, the wood element Spiritual Energy on him surged again, faintly exuding a hint of ancient aura.
